PÓS-OPERATÓRIO DE IMPLANTE DE BIOPRÓTESE AÓRTICA POR CATETER: INTERVENÇÕES DE ENFERMAGEM Post-operative of bioprosthesis aortic catheter implant: nursing intervention Postoperatorio de implante de bioprótesis aórtica por catéter: intervenciones de enfermería

Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease; affects approximately 3% of the elderly population, underwent implantation of aortic bioprosthesis catheter. Nurses need to improve knowledge, to develop treatment protocols and care. Objective: Propose nursing interventions for postoperative patients treated for AS catheter. Method: Retrospective, quantitative research; composite sample of the Registro Brasileiro de Implantepor Cateter de Bioprotese Valvar Aortica, with 418 patients between January 2008 and February 2013. Results: The mean age was 81.5 years, 348 were in functional class III or IV cardiac arrest; complications with the highest incidence: left bundle branch block (129 patients), atrioventricular block (110) and the need for pacemaker implantation (83). Conclusion: We propose the nursing interventions for evaluation of neurological function, vascular, hematologic, renal, cardiac, vital signs, and pain control.
